Tracking Commands
Network commands can be tracked using event trackers configured under global » tracking. For more
information about event trackers, refer to Section 3.17, “Managing Event Trackers”.
A network command is activated based on the event tracker's state. The Apply When parameter determines
when the command is activated. For example, if the Apply When parameter is set to down, the network
command becomes active (thereby advertising the network to a router's RIP peers) when the tracked target is
unavailable.
To track a command for a RIP network, do the following:
1. Change the mode to Edit Private or Edit Exclusive.
2. Make sure a prefix list distribution path has been configured. For more information, refer to Section 5.20.8,
“Managing the Prefix List Distribution”.
3. Navigate to routing » dynamic » rip » distribute-prefix-list » {direction} » {interface}, where: {direction}
is the direction (incoming or outgoing) in which to filter routing updates and {interface} (optional) is the name
of the interface.
4. Click the + symbol in the menu next to track. The Track form appears
